Real long overdue update.
Wow, I really do suck at updating my blog. I had all kinds of intentions to start a new blog, and keep writing and every time I end up writing for four days. Well I'm writing this one from Los Angeles, California. Me and Big Chris drove out here a few days ago. I've never been to LA before and it was a pretty long drive. We decided to divide it up into three days to make it as easy as possible, and truthfully it wasn't all too bad. We drove only 6 hours first night, 10 hours second night and finished it off with about 12 hours on the last night. With stops, of course.
I got a great opportunity out here and I was kind of aching to get out of Tunica anyways so I talked Chris into driving and off we went. I met up with my friend out here the first night and he thought it'd be a good idea not to play the first two nights but just relax after the long drive. So that's exactly what I did. I stayed the first night at his house which was a very nice house in what they call "Little Saigon" here. Now here's my immediate problem, I'm as white as they come and I was raised in northern Sweden. Me and chopsticks don't get along. So I order some kind of meal in one of the vietnamese restaurants here and they didn't even bring me a fork or knife.... fuck. I try poke around with the little wooden sticks for a minute, trying to figure out how Greg (the guy who lives there) did the shit and I somewhat got the hang of it by the end of the meal. But it seemed like way too much work compared to a fork and knife. :(
The Commerce Casino was great, it's like the World Series of Poker every day it seems. A hundred and change tables with just about any limit of whatever game you want to play. Last night I didn't play but went to a restaurant with Chris and Greg called Del Rae, which Greg claimed was the greatest kept secret in Southern California. The steakhouse was very nice, had a valet as soon as you pull into their lot. Their peppersteak was off the charts. And then I played tonight, as in Saturday night in their $500 to $1500 buy-in $5/10 No Limit game and booked a small win, nothing major. Me and Chris then went to some sports bar and watched the UFC fights and had a couple beers, a pretty chill night.
Well that was all I had to write, I just felt like updating something.
